Patent GB-190717455-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electric Signalling Apparatus.
Filed: 1907-07-30
Granted: 1908-01-30
Abstract: 17,455. Deutsche Telephonwerke Ges. Aug. 24, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. No Patent granted (Sealingfee not paid). Order apparatus.-The moving contact-pieces of the transmitter of an electro-magnetic step-by-step order telegraph are connected indirectly to the hand-wheel by means of a spiral spring. By means of a governor, it is thus possible to make the speed of the contactpieces constant, and independent of the speed with which the hand-wheel is rotated, thereby ensuring that the receiving- instrument does not get out of step with the transmitter. The spindle o, through which the contact - pieces k<2>, k<1> receive their motion, is connected to the hand-wheel H by means of the spiral spring, a spur-wheel, and a pinion (not shown). A contact-arm i on the spindle o transmits the motion of the spindle to the contact pieces k<1>, k<2> by engaging with a stop x or y ; at the same time, it makes electric contact between the springs 5, 6 or 4, 7, thereby closing the signalling-circuit. As the contacts move along their paths, the wires I, II, III are successively placed in conducting communication with the battery, and the cores of the solenoids e', e<2>, e<3> of the receiver are successively moved, thereby causing the pointer z<1> to move to a position corresponding with the position of the pointer Z of the transmitter. The position of the handwheel, and in consequence the position of the spindle o and contact arm i, are defined by a spring roller r' engaging in notches on a toothed segment s<1> which is rigidly attached to the spindle of the hand-wheel. When the spindle o and arm i have come to rest, the contact springs 4, 5, 6, 7 receive a slight forward movement which breaks their contact with the arm i, by means of a spring roller r<2> engaging in a notch of the toothed wheel s<2>, to which the springs are connected. The receiver shown in Fig. 3 is provided with a second pointer z<2> for indicating the signal last sent. This pointer is attached to the pointer z<1> by means of a spring, and is fixed to a notched wheel u. During the setting of the pointer Z to a new position, the contact - pieces are kept from moving due to the roller r' being kept in its notch on the-wheel s<2> by pressure on a handle. Whenever the handwheel H is moved, the arm i moves into contact with the springs 5, 6 or 4, 7. The circuit of the magnet e<4> is thus closed and the catch K is withdrawn, freeing the pointer z<2> and allowing it to register with the pointer z'. When the pointer Z has been set, the roller r<2> is lifted out of its notch in the wheel s<2> ; the circuit of the magnet e' is thus broken at 8, and the catch K engages once more with the wheel u, thus fixing the pointer z<2>. The contact-pieces k<1>, k<2> are then free to move, and the pointer z<1> takes up its new position. An arm D on the lever h holds the roller r' in contact with the segment s<1> and thus prevents the movement of the hand-wheel H before the completion of the motion of the contact-pieces.

Abstract: 20,979. Rynkowski, B. Sept. 21. No Patent granted (Sealingfee not paid). Miners' safety lamps.- A locking-device for the lamp is so constructed that two magnets are required for opening and closing it. As shown, the lamp is locked by a spring- controlled bar 4 in a recess 2 in the ring 1 ; the bar engages an opening 6 in the container and is held therein by a second spring- controlled bar 8, which is held aside by a magnet y, Fig. 3, while the lamp is being closed. To open the lamp, two magnets y arranged at right-angles are required. The bar is provided with a projection 3 which, in the locked position, is engaged by a fork-shaped projection 9 on the bar 8. The magnets act through iron cores 5, 10. At each rotation of the ring 1 as the lamp is being closed, the bar 4 engages the recess 6, and the bar 4 has to be withdrawn by a magnet.
